Summer Playground!

Gorgeous lakeside campsites perfect for fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking or boat sports! Tucked in the mountains amongst an endless supply of ATV and Jeep 4x4 trails. Walk, run, or hike the 7.2mi lake perimeter early mornings or at dusk for beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Explore countless alpine lakes while utilizing the expansive trail systems. Electric and water hookups with restroom and shower facilities within walking distance, watercraft docks, and a visitor center on site as well as campground hosts. Plenty of day use areas surrounding the lake; must have state park pass to enter and utilize. If you forget something or want a quick return to civilization you can visit the Vega Lodge restaurant right off the lake or head into Collbran 11mi from camp.
